A Methodist Pastor Scccdes.

A st. Paul, MIMI, paper announces that Rev.
Samuel G. Smith, OF the First NJ. z. church OF that
city, has sent Bishop Foss his resignation as It's
pastor. He is reported as saying in this communl-
cation that he is unable to continue as Methodist
minister because he cannot work IN harmony with
the principles OF Metnodism as laid down by the
last conference. What Is known as the "time
limit" is his great objection. DIR. Smith says he is
not alone In his objection TO this principle OF
Methodist Church government, but that he Is ia
dorsed not only by the ministers OF 81. Paul. but
by the most prominent Methodists throughout the
Northwest The statement has been made that II
DIR. Smith went TO the Park Congregational
church, to any other, new or old. or decided TO

Foss came to st. Paul last Friday and called on
those members trying to persuade them 70

proposition has been made that Dr. Smith shall
preach In the opera House for the present
